Deborah The Delightful Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 11, 2021

I have enjoyed war stories and war heroes since I was a small boy watching the news on the movies screen in the local theater. I never realized, however, that not all of the heroes were men.

Politics And Christianity

Contributed by Anthony Smith on Dec 3, 2004

Is God Responsible For Human Evil? Series

Contributed by Ian Du Pisanie on Mar 21, 2012

If God ordains whatsoever shall come to pass, does that mean that He is also the author of evil and sin? We have a look at human evil and the role it plays in Gods eternal plan for us.

What About Human Freedom? Series

Contributed by Ian Du Pisanie on Apr 3, 2012

If God ordains whatsoever shall come to pass, what role do humans play in the greater picture? Are we merely puppets on a string or is the some sort of freedom we have to choose God?

When 1+1=1

Contributed by Babatunde Olugboji on Jul 28, 2008

This message about the God-ordained marriage relationship between man and woman as the devil is prowling to and fro looking for marriages to devour and relationships to wreck. And the church is not immune. We can learn a few lessons from the Shunamite cou

Introduction From the title of this message, it is clear that this is an unusual formula. Yes, 1+1 = 1, not 2. Ordinarily, 1+1 equals 2, but there are many things in the word of God which are not ordinary, but extra-ordinary. When God parted the Red Sea for the people of Israel when they were being ...read more

Contributed by Terry Frazier on Sep 8, 2013

Turning Tests Into Testimonies

Contributed by Noah Martinez on May 15, 2008

To advance through the predetermined goals that God ordains in each of us, He sends tests. Sometimes we cannot go on to the next exam until we finish the one we are in. With this perspective, we march forward with the help and grace of God.

Turning Tests into Testimonies James 1:12-16 When James tells us do not err, I believe it means not to misunderstand what his point is in vs. 12, 13. There is an explanation why in one verse James relates temptation with God, and in the next says it isn’t God who tempts. In the original wording ...read more
